Im an 20 year veteran of application development consulting. Contributor level... not talking head. I do more estimating than anyone you likely know. Consulting is cooked. I just AI native built (not vibe coding...) an application with a buddy, another Principal level engineer and what would cost a client 500-750k and 8-12 weeks, we did for $200 and 1 sprint. Its a passion project but highly complex mapping and navigation app with host/client multi-user sync'd state. Cooked.

Wow. First realistic post about coding assistants that I've read on HN, I think.

[Disclaimer: that I have read. Doesn't mean there weren't others.]

Too bad it's about NFTs but we can't have everything, can we?
